BILLBOARD Magazine / charts - THE BEATLES - 1964 Apr 4

THE MOST HISTORIC SINGLES CHART EVER - THE BEATLES HAVE THE TOP 5 SONGS IN THE USA - only time in history this feat ever done - The Beatles had truly conquered !!!

The Beatles took the world by storm crashing on the american scene in January of 1964 and dominating the entire year of music. Billboard Magazine did the best to keep track of the craze and its cultural and business impact on the music industry. Here is an original rare issue from that amazing time of history. Various Beatles articles and early chart appearances in this issue

Billboard Magazine is the music industry leader of keeping track of music related news, charts and sales. The most collected period of music is 1960s and related memorabilia. I have collected almost every Billboard Magazine published from 1960-1964 and have decided to sell them all off.

Note that many sellers buy up these old issues and pull out the full page ads (usually about 10 per issue) and sell them off individually anywhere from $5-20 a page and then also sell the Hot 100 Singles chart individually for $10 in most cases. So ironically by buying this issues you can split them up and sell them and make possibly $100.00 per issue !!

Well I am old fashioned and don't like to "disect" these classic books so I will sell them intact and cheap

Remember these have the hot new album reviews, all the charts showing music history, great ads from the record companies for new artists, hot industry trends, radio station news etc etc. - very cool!

In various issues you can read about the buzz created by such things as The Beatles / Elvis Presley / the Twist craze / the british invasion / the surf craze / folk music / the teen idols / and so much more!

All issues are in pretty good shape - I can't confirm every page but I would say these are all complete !
